The hospital provides two distinct service lines, acute and rehabilitation services and benefits from care pathways through the services. This means that a patient can move through an acute setting into a rehabilitation ward, but also if a patient currently residing at the hospital requires an enhanced level of support, a move to an acute service is also possible.
